lyrics

THE MOTHERLAND IS CALLING
(Lyrics & Music By Joe Walmsley 2020)
I know I’m not an angel, but I got a Heart Of Gold
I regret those heated moments, when I fail to control
The anger and the, words I say sometimes I can’t be told
Juggling the options, waiting for a sign
Dealing with our daily issues, reaching for the wine
Trying to make it here, playing by the book yet still in line
(Bridge)
Here we go again, We gotta reapply,
Are you keeping score as you bleed us dry?
(Chorus)
The Motherland is calling, My Heart’s already there
Tread the banks along the dirty water, Breath in some Mersey air
Wanna be around My own kind, in a place where I belong,
Where they welcome you on every corner
And Greet you with a song

Remember in our home town, where the fairytale began
You were Alice in our Wonderland, I felt like Peter Pan
We were so carefree, didn't know the meaning of responsibility
Then in a flash you're carrying our future little star
She is here now, dancing proud, singing in the car
She makes it all worthwhile,
the reason why we keep the dream alive
A coated Blessing in disguise
A Mystery tour, to take us back in time,
(Repeat Chorus)
